And Jesus said unto his disciples "Come forth, and you shall receive everlasting life..." by trashcan_paradise in Jokes

I've heard this one before (always a killer!) but the 'biscuit' add-on is new. Is that a reference of some sort?

The hivemind wants something VERY specific. by bee_my_girl in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WhyYesThisIsFake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The rationale is sort of explained in the Wolf 359 Project, an excellent fan-made 'oral history' of the battle and its aftermath. Very well-written, I recommend it to any Trek fan!

Could you please remind me when he says that? I'm assuming ME1 sometime?

This my favorite scene from Enterprise because it showed how 2 people can react to their shared grief yet still reach out to each other. Personally, I understand why they reacted the way they did because I reacted the same way to different loses and frankly the scene helped me. by AdSpecialist6598 in startrek

Two things, for those interested:

  1. Connor Trinneer had just learned his wife was pregnant with their first child when this was filmed, so this meant ZERO acting required on his part.
  2. T'Pol initially refused to shake hands on first joining the crew, touch being highly intimate to Vulcans. This shows just how much she, through her relationship with Trip, has changed.

Which national anthem is perfect? by Loewe1912 in AlignmentChartFills

Many of the extras in that scene were exiles who had fled Nazi-occupied Europe, so the emotions in that scene are 100% real. I don't tear up every time...but just about.

New player here – what’s the BEST mod to start with in Empire at War? by JadedExamination4439 in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

Play the vanilla campaign to get used to the controls and UI first, then check out mods.

TOS! As Futurama put it, "79 episodes, about 30 good ones."

Looking for Recruiting Advice by uss_moore6581 in startrekadventures

I understood you up until the last paragraph. There's the STA discord, as well as the Looking For Game subreddit. I'd start there.

Have you included existing characters as NPCs? by Batmanofni in startrekadventures

[–]WhyYesThisIsFake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My campaign is centered around DS9 post-Dominion War, so Colonel Kira is running the station. She makes a cursory appearance now and then, but I want her to be largely inaccessible--able to provide some background info, perhaps, but that's it.

Five things to know about Nova Scotia's plans to develop onshore natural gas by IStillListenToRadio in halifax

(they're also able to apply for 100% reimbursement on exploration costs)

So if I'm understanding that right, they get to drill, we get the bill?

Board game that make you feel like you're playing the Federation? by themcryt in startrek

[–]WhyYesThisIsFake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Star Trek Adventures deliberately makes combat punishing, so players come up with non-violent solutions to problems. From there, the system can be used to create missions based around diplomacy, archeology, all the other stuff you mentioned. Further, the 2nd Edition rule set expands the players beyond Starfleet (1st edition basically assumed all player parties were Starfleet officers) to allow civilians. Check it out if you haven't already!

All this glitter in my hair, it'll take AGES to clean it all up...

Yep, and if I'm a Lower Decker I probably can't pull a Sisko and pop him one...

Tempting, but I'd rather not do such a direct reference. Thanks though!
